What Happened? || MaColet (BINI #1)

Chapter 30: Kiss

Days passed at medyo nakakapag-adjust na si Maloi sa bago niyang org. Hindi naman siya nahirapan makapasok dahil magaling naman talaga siyang sumayaw. Nakakainis lang kasi hindi ko nakita dahil may quiz kami that time at ayaw naman i-send sa akin ni Sheena ’yung entry niya. Konti na lang talaga at mababatukan ko na ’yung batang ’to.

"Bebe, I won't be around next week ha. Hindi kita masasamahan sa practice mo." Gwen informed Shee while we were eating sa cafeteria.

Magkakasama kaming apat ngayon dahil nga balak na sabihin ni Maloi na official na kami sa mga friends niya. However, hindi niya masabi dahil parang may cold war ’yung dalawa.

"Meeting with fam?" Shee asked, and Gwen slowly nodded habang nakatingin pa rin sa phone niya.

Ibinagsak ni Sheena ang utensils at napabuntong hininga. She wasn't sulking, I know. She was acting like this because of Gwen's attitude right now. Kanina pa kasi siya sa phone niya.

"Gwen, are you okay?" Maloi asked. "Kanina ka pa wala sa sarili mo. You're always on the phone. Aware ka pa ba na nandito kami?"

Gwen stopped typing and looked at us. "Of course." She chuckled. "Ano nga kasi sasabihin mo?"

"CR muna ako." Shee stood up then left.

I could see Maloi's frustration pero hindi niya pinahalata iyon. I guess, nahihirapan din siya sa cold war ng dalawa.

"What's with you and Sheena?" she directly asked Gwen. Hindi na rin ako nakisabat kahit pansin ko dahil hindi ko naman talaga alam kung may away ba o nagkakatampuhan lang.

"You know exactly what my prob is." Gwen sighed. "Hindi ko alam paano sabihin sa kanya." She crossed her arms and averted her gaze.

"Gusto ba ninyo mag-usap? Pupuntahan ko lang si Shee sa rest room."

"Stay." Maloi rested her hand on my legs and looked at me. "Help me." She mouthed, so I nodded.

"I already talked to Franz. Sabi niya, he’s willing to wait for my decision. Hindi namin alam paano sasabihin sa parents namin." Gwen looked at us. "Ang daming pwedeng mawala if we defy them."

"Franz?" I furrowed my brows. "Bakit nadamay si Franz dito?"

"He's my fiancé, Colet."

I didn't know what to react. Gulat din ako. Ibig sabihin ’yung babaeng tinutukoy ni Franz na ayaw niyang pakasalan dahil sobrang nonchalant ay si Gwen? The girl who was worse than me was Gwen all along? How come I didn't know any of this?

"Bakit hindi na maipinta mukha mo?" Maloi asked and knitted her brows. "May gusto ka ba kay Franz?"

"Ha?" Halos mag-high notes na ako sa tanong niya. "Hibang ka ba? Hindi kita gagawing girlfriend kung may gusto ako sa kanya."

"Teka, kayo na?" Gwen asked in surprised. Masyadong napalakas ang boses niya dahilan para mapatingin ang mga tao sa amin. She sat properly and looked at us. "Kailan pa? Bakit hindi ninyo sinabi?"

"Hoy, ikaw ang pinag-uusapan dito, Gweneth. ’Wag mo kami gawing topic." Maloi tried na ibalik ang topic pero hindi na natinag si Gwen.

"I knew it. I really knew it." She chuckled and smiled. "Kailan pa naging kayo? Nagkiss na ba kayo?"

"Gweneth!" Maloi motioned her to lower her voice pero parang wala siyang naririnig. Sobrang excited siya sa nalaman niya.

"Bakit kiss agad ang tinatanong mo? Hindi ba pwedeng—" Maloi cut me off by glaring at me.

"Before we answer your question, ano munang balak mong sabihin kay Sheena? She deserves to know the truth. Before I came, magbestfriends na kayo." Maloi asked sternly.

"I'm planning to tell her everything once settled na. Kapag sure na ako kung kailan ang date ng kasal."

"What the hell?" Maloi exclaimed.

"Wala akong choice, Yves. I don't want to hurt, Shee. As of now, hindi pa niya maiintindihan."

"Edi ipaintindi mo. You know how much she likes you, Gwen. You're her ate. Ano na lang mararamdaman niya kapag binigla mo siya about sa wedding mo?"

"I don't know. Basta ayoko pa ngayon." Gwen looked at me na tahimik lang nakikinig sa kanila. "Ano na, Colet? Nakiss mo na ba?"

I shook my head causing Gwen to laugh. Halata na sa itsura ni Maloi na naiinis siya. Gwen didn't explain kung bakit ’yun ang tinatanong niya kaya naisipan kong si Maloi na lang ang tanungin after lunch.

We were walking on the hallway papunta sa class ni Maloi. Ihahatid ko lang siya tapos uuwi na ako. Wala na rin kasi kaming klase.

"Bakit pala tanong nang tanong si Gwen about sa kiss?" I asked.

Maloi stopped and closed her eyes. "Damn that girl." She whispered.

"Bakit nga?" I asked then chuckled. "Hindi ba ako first kiss mo?"

"It's not that," Maloi said and looked at me. "I don't know how to kiss. And days ago I asked her how. Before pa maging tayo."

"What?" I laughed.

"Look," she said at tumayo sa harapan ko. "Ayokong ma-turn off ka because your girl isn't a good kisser. So, I tried to learn para naman worth it ang pagiging girlfriend ko."

I flicked her forehead, causing her to groan. "Do you think I'm a kiss addict, huh?"

Maloi pouted and slowly tipped para maabot ang mga labi ko. She gave me a peck and smiled. I was taken aback.

I looked around to see if anyone saw us pero buti na lang walang tao sa hallway.

"You're blushing, Miss Vergara." She pinched my cheeks. "See you later, aimer. I'll text you after my class."

Nauna na siyang naglakad sa akin at ako ay nandito pa rin sa kinatatayuan ko. I don't know what to feel. Damn that girl, alam na alam niya talaga paano ako kunin.
